My Next Life as a Villainess was so much more heartwarming and adorable than I thought it would be! I didn't realize the premise was a visual novel and you can romance all the characters! A spectacular bi fantasy that a younger me would've found so valuable as representation.
I normally have a problem with "cute" lady anime because the main characters are intolerable versions of kawaiiiiiiii with ribbons and submissive feminine tropes. This was the energetic lady trope but like, relatable and adorable. I really love the main character she is great.
This could easily be a ttrpg too I think? It's so gamified!
Also there are themes of anxiety and ADHD, with the main character constantly planning for the worst possible outcome and how to defeat it, while clearly there is no real threat.

It's like a more heartwarming and less sexy version of Orun Host Club, my other favorite harem anime!!!
Totally worth watching, really lovely feels.
